Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-24-1986

Reported in: AIR1989AP33

ORDER1. Sri Narayana Reddy learned counsel for the respondent 1 raised a preliminary objection to the maintainability of the revision. He contends that the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, constituted under Section 110 of the Motor Vehicles Act (Act 4 of 1939) for short, 'the Act', is not a court subordinate to High Court amenable to jurisdiction under Section 115 of the C.P.C. In-support thereof, he placed reliance on Revanappa v. Guderao (1) : AIR1983Kant164 . Admittedly under the Act, there is no special procedure provided for disposal of the O.Ps. The District Court is constituted as a Tribunal to decide the claims under the Act. The procedure under the C.P.C. is to be followed It is now well established that no special procedure has been prescribed and the claims under special statutes are to be adjudicated by regular court as a Tribunal, all the incidents provided under the Code of Civil Procedure would follow.

The Special Deputy Collector, Srisailam Project (L.A.), Atmakur Vs. B. ... Overruled

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-23-1986

Reported in: AIR1987AP136

Raghuvir, J.1. The above 26 appeals relate to acquisition of lands. To preface the discussion in the cases, it is not irrelevant to recount sovereign powers of the State which include police power, power of taxation and power to acquire land, often expressed in Latin expression 'eminent domain'. In old texts of jurisprudence sovereign power is recounted to include escheat. The modern text book writers on sovereignty consider escheat is more an incident of property than a subject of sovereignty.2. In the pre-constitution days eminent domain power affecting land was reduced in enactment of The Land Acquisition Act, 1 of 1894. The Act specifies the procedure to be followed when land is acquired. The Act also lays down how compensation is to be determined. Compensation is a word which includes the market value of the land and solatium paid to the landholders and sometimes the expression is used to include interest awarded to the landholder. The subject before the Full Bench pertains to int...
